AGX People: Why do my AGX's seem "stiffer" on "soft" setting and vice versa.
AGX People: Why do my AGX's seem "stiffer" on "soft" setting and vice versa.
I installed AGX's in the rear of my 4th gen today to replace my blown GR2s. Out of curiosity I tried the different settings (1 being soft and 8 being soft) and timed how long it took for the shock to rebound from a fully compressed state.
On the "softest" setting which is supposedly 1, it took 7 seconds to rebound. On setting 4 it took 9 seconds, and on setting 8 it took 18 seconds to rebound. I timed this numerous times, each time getting the same result.
Unfortunately I was only able to try it on one strut as I had already installed the other one.
Anyone have any insight on this?

Hope this makes some sense...

if it takes longer to rebound, it took longer to compress...meaning its stiffer...hard to push in, slower to come out.....slower to rebound...On the softest setting, 1, easy to push in, easy to come out...hardest setting, 8, hard to push in, takes longer to come out...

When mine are on full stiff in the back, I can't push the rear of the car down, unless I stand on it, and then it still barely moves at all. I just read that you said off the car, so my statement doesn't really apply.

When you set your strut to 1 you are at the stiffest setting 4 and 8 are soft! At least that's what my instructions said.
